Question 1

Are the labels easy to write on?

Accepted Answer

This can take a little bit of practice at first.  You don't 'write' on the labels as easily as pen on paper - you need to scratch or etch the black surface away.  A thin line may only take one go with the scriber but a thick line may need going over two or three times.
If you're labelling hundreds of labels it may be best to purchase a battery-operated etching tool for ease and speed.

Question 2

How long do the labels last?

Accepted Answer

For years and years.  In some cases labels are still legible after decades.
